Anti rust to be removed

Call me stupid whatever you want... I costed my car with anti rust but the annual one. Not the permanent one. I want to remove it now... I just want to remove the one under the car. What product should I use. The APR (all purpose cleaner) did not help much.... I need something stronger and won't affect the car

What should I use

hmmm...... why do you want to remove it ...... ??

If the anti rust stuff that was used is an oil based product, any solvent that will dissolve oil should take it off.

I would start by trying isopropyl alcohol ....... spray it on and wipe it off.

Put car on a hoist; open and drink a beer, spray alcohol, open 2nd beer, wipe off alcohol, drink half of the beer; blow out seems and other under side parts with compressed air, finish beer; wipe off any residue; you're done.

Why remove it? What harm does it do? Just wear gloves when working on the car. It's a hell of a lot easier than cleaning off the entire thing.

I'm applying a new formula with a different company and after the anti rust was done I drove the car directly. So dirt got trapped there. I don't want the new formula to be sprayed over the old one and the dirt I don't need to explain myself more.

Thanks for suggesting the isopropyl alcohol

Can I use the following product:

Cleaner degreaser for food processing industrial use
It contains potassium hydroxide

Oh, I would NOT use any product with potassium hydroxide in it, because of its corrosive properties.

You might try something like this:
